Another few days

It's been another few busy days so I'm jotting down as I go and updating when I can !

Monday - Day 5 

Usual breakfast of cereal soy milk and blueberries 

For lunch I had a piece of slimming world quiche ( this is nothing like quicker really it's simply vegetables of your choice you can add meats it you wish, then a egg and cottage cheese mix poured over and cooked for an hour or so) with a couple of spinach leaves and some cucumber,

Dinner was homemade sheppards pie. Didn't manage my exercise today as wasn't feeling very good still.

Tuesday - Day 6 (normal routine resumes) 

Same breakfast of cereal milk and blueberries. Mid morning banana . Lunch of sw quiche (as above) and a fat free yoghurt. 

Dinner was homemad chicken stirfry 

Still can't wear any shoes so fitted in a small session of the wii fit (18 mins) 

Wednesday- Day seven (where has that gone) 

Usual cereal soy milka and blueberries. Straight throught to lunch, cup of soup, couple of seafood sticks and a fat free yoghurt, mid afternoon snack of pear. Dinner tonight was homemade quorn style (chilli basically quorn mince, mushrooms, chopped tomatoes, peppers - no yucky beans or spices!) with a very small jacket potatoe, no skin. And a sugar free jelly. 

Still unable to walk so (22 min) wii fit session tonight. 

Thursday - Day eight

Boring breakfast as usual - cereal, almond milk and blueberries. Lunch of sw quiche (as in previous days) and fat free yoghurt. Mid afternoon pear. Dinner tonight will be chicken potatoe and peas when I get in the kitchen and muster up the enthusiasm ! 

Pushed myself round for 30mins on the wii fit tonight!! New record. 

I can see I'm getting progress and making time to do some exercise everyday I'm hoping will make the difference, weight in on Sunday so let's see!! On that note kitchen here I come!

2,3,4 =write off

Ok so maybe starting on Easter weekend was a bad idea, I had literally forgotten how much socialising I was meant to do this weekend and as much as you select the best options it's not always possible to stick to but today I'm back on track and tomorrow is back to normality so fingers crossed 

Day two: 

Cereal and blueberries for breakfast with soya milk . Picnic lunch(spontaneous ) carrot sticks and low fat houmus, small scoop of salad type pasta, olives, fruit sticks and 1 mini doughnut. Dinner:  fresh filled pasta with small side salad. 

Lots of walking along the beach today 

Day three 

Cereal and blueberries for breakfast with soya milk , lunch was a coffee and biscuit on the go,  for dinner I was out socialising we went to a Chinese restaurant so that wasn't a good day.

And four

One slice of wholemeal (400g so small size loaf) bread with scrambled egg - no butter.  Followed by a 40 minute fast walk ( blisters to prove it oh and plenty of shaking side effects ) Easter lunch: chicken, new potatoes and a few lettuce leaves. 

Dinner was out socialising, buffet style : so I tried to stick to salad olives, cold meats, small piece of special cheese , thin half slice of homemade bread. And a very naughty mini Easter nest 

So all in all three rather bad food days, a lot more exercise than usual. Trying much harder today hoping to be up to a wii fit session later and maybe if my blisters aren't to bad a slower pace walk this evening as I'll need to be good for work tomorrow! 

Day one

So here's goes today's attempt: most of what I'm eating now is picked from a diet plan 

Breakfast: small bowl of mini weetabix(plain) handful of blueberries and raspberries with soya milk and sprinkling of sweetner (to make it bearable) 

Snack: banana 

Lunch: salad (lettuce,tomatoe,cuecumber, pepper) with seafood sticks and quorn turkey

            Minestrone mug shot 

            Yoghurt and pudding rice 

Snack: mixed grapes 

Dinner: grilled bacon, low fat creme fraiche , onion and parsley pasta 

Treat: pink and white wafer biscuit

A very good day for day one I think, shame I couldn't fit in any exercise today but it's definatley a start, got to try hard over the weekend as I find temptation is usually greater at the weekend! 

Updates and a new direction.

Ok so here goes, things haven't been good in a while something I like to hide away even though I keep saying I want to be more open about it. So this is another fresh start, I had a routine GP appointment Monday to check on my asthma. All is going ok at the moment they are pleased with everything at the moment, my current medication seems to be working and my peak flow is returning to "good for me" my chest sounded OK! And my BP was good so all happy. But I was told I need to me put my efforts in, I need to do more exercise and loose some weight.

Both of these things are difficult for me, so I've decided my new way forward is my blog, like a name and shame type process, if I had to post what I'm doing then theres the motivation to do it not to cheat, I talked with gp about struggling with exercise , I've been told I have to monitor and learn to difference between breathlessness from my asthma and what could be breathlessness from basically being unfit, which I felt a bit harsh but hey! I his basic advise was to start small and simple and to work upwards in intensity and duration. With the more you do (and try) the easier it will become. 

So here's to the start of a new challenge and plenty of blogging of my eating and exercise, any pointers , motivation & telling off more than welcome !!
